the identity of a non-human Being. Please bring any mask making supplies that you are happy to share, such as scissors, glue, markers, pencils, construction paper, items gathered from nature (leaves, feathers, pebbles, plant parts, sticks) etc. (It is also
fine if you don't bring anything, there will be plenty available).</span></p>
